Jude had returned from Patrol a bit a go but he didn't exactly feel like hanging around the infirmary the entire time either, even if the reason he was even at the infirmary was because patrol kicked his a** for the most part but that was alright. He lived. Right now he just stood around outside and did absolutely nothing but sit there.
Relax and gather his thoughts.
Maybe try to find a happy thought here and there amongst all the gloom he'd been feeling and putting out. All of the gloom, all of the sadness, and everything else that went with it. Honestly he didn't want to feel this way anymore but how does one stop?

What. Had. He. Done.
Otto walked around outside the tents, looking like a kicked puppy (hurrhurr). He'd been under the influence of Julie's baking not too long ago, and made a total fool of himself. He'd... ugh. Otto tried not to think about it. He rubbed his temples, sulking to himself as he walked around, trying not to be seen.
Until he bumped right into Jude. Maybe he should have been watching where he walked and not down at his own feet. He stumbled and looked up, his face falling into a look of self disgust. This wasn't the first time he'd met that guy while drugged.
"Uh..." Otto shoved his hands in his pockets and avoided eye contact. "Sorry.. bout that." he mumbled quietly.

Ariane... Wasn't exactly sure what she was doing, just that she had to do something; which was why, upon spotting a familiar face, she begun to make her way down to him... Only to see another familiar face bumping into the first familiar face. It was a familiar face parade! She grinned, and gave both fellow Death-ers a hearty smack on their back.
"Why the gloom cloud?"

Deryk was actually pretty glad to be back within the barrier. He didn't want to end up running into more giant scorpions or giant whatever. Letting out a sigh of relief, he followed Jude. Personally, he had come away from the patrol mostly unscathed, but it wasn't quite the same for his fellow death trainee.
"Gonna be alright man? Took a few hits back there. Maybe should lie down? Rest a bit? Get some coffee? Do they even have coffee here? I hope so..." he said before spying Otto once more. Uh oh. Was there going to be more nonsense soon? This wasn't quite the case as the younger male apologized instead.
Oh, and Ariane was here too. And she didn't smack him, yay!
"Oh. Just got back from patrol. Got sorta beaten up. Giant scorpions. Bad news."

Jude blinked as got bumped into but steadied himself as best he could and then looked at Otto before kind of tilting his head away to look skyward. Gee that looks like a nice sky. Yepyep. Jude cleared his throat, "It's alright. I just...um...You're okay now, right?"
The smack on the back caused him a bit of an 'oof' along with a cringe thankful that Deryk was there to explain the situation when he did because that meant Jude didn't have to think up a lie of his own. Thank heavens for Deryks, he will give Deryk so much coffee when they make it out of this.
If.
"I'll be fine Double-O-Seven. I just...Need a few minutes that is all," He gave Deryk an awkward but sincere smile. "Dunno if they got coffee around here but I could go for some..."

"Yeah.. I slept it off." He muttered, grunting as Ariane smacked his back.
Oh crap. More people. One of them was nerd boy, who he knew had seen his little performance earlier. Ugh. At least Ariane hadn't. Actually he hadn't seen her since their spar way back when. Didn't she poison him with cookies too?
That b***h.

Ariane only had two hands, although now that she was done smacking two people with her two hands, she went ahead and smacked Deryk on the back with her now free hand... She was fair, after all. Everyone gets an affectionate smack on the back.
"Aw, you poor unfortunate souls," She cooed before grinning, looking at one guy to another, "Maybe we could go see if they have any pick-me-ups in one of the tents... Although I think I saw someone receiving cookies from Julie. Might want to avoid those... She might be of a higher rank, but I do not trust her baking."

Deryk winced as he got smacked in the back now. He was all healed up but Ariane wasn't the most gentle with her smacking. Rolling his shoulder, he grinned to Jude briefly.
"Would be nice if they did. Hope they do," he said. He could use some coffee himself right now. Turning his attention back to the others, he blinked while thinking on the cookies some more.
"Her cookies really that bad? I keep hearing to avoid them at all costs. What she do? Slip lsd into them?"

He stared at Ariane and almost expected her to grow a few tentacles and a lot curvier but much to his disappointment she did none of these things and she was still Ariane. He just waved a hand, "Nothing we can't handle. We're good."
Nevermind that he almost couldn't handle it.
"...I wouldn't be surprised if things were slipped into the cookies no matter who made them," Jude said simply. He was pretty much in agreement with Deryk that it would be nice if they had ... un-drugged pick-me-ups in the tents, "as it is...I just tried to ... get Otto to take a nap so he wouldn't uhh..."
He hesitated to say 'embarrass himself' and so he just let it drop.

Otto's eye twitches and gave Jude an incredulous look. Yeah, let it drop, Jude.
Still, what Deryk asked made Otto imagine the nerd on cookie high and... it scared him. "Nerd? Do me one favour." He insisted, staring up at the other blonde with narrowed eyes. "Never. Eat. The cookies." For the love of humanity, and all that was good and decent in the world.
"And sorry to burst yer bubble, but they only got a short amount of rations. Juice boxes and dried fruit. Super limited. That means no coffee."

"Otto's right. Just never eat them if you value your pride... Even if they look or smell delicious, they are dangerous," She stressed the word 'dangerous', leaning towards the older hunter as she narrowed her eyes, showing how srs bzn she felt at the moment, "It's a bloody trap. In fact, try never to take anything from Julie. Missions included, unless they are mandatory."
Very few things actually scare her. Julie was one of those things.
"Juice boxes and dried fruit? How lucky," She grinned, turning to lead them towards the tent, "I'm sure you know by now how stingy they are with rations... I'm surprised they bothered to get anything at all, much less sweet things~"

Deryk stared between Ariane and Otto, then nodded slowly.
"I.. I see. Will keep that in mind. Avoid all baked goods. Ever."
Granted, he wished the happy cookies from the little old lady before were still around. Those were nice. Really nice. But alas, they were gone. The sound of no coffee was a bummer too. Juice boxes and dried fruit...
He had to wonder how long they were going to be here if that was all they had for rations.

There was a pause and a stare directed at Otto, "Thanks Koala Dreamcrusher," he sighed and then looked down to the ground. No coffee? No nothin'. WHY DOES THE WORLD WANT TO TORTURE HIM SO MUCH? WHAT DID HE DO IN A PAST LIFE TO DESERVE THIS?
Was it because he touched Otto's golem boobs by accident? Is that what happened?
Clearly that was the cause. The talk of cookies wandered over his head for the time being while he wallowed over the lack of coffee.
If at all possible Jude was now gloomier than ever.

Otto cringed as Ariane tried to lead them to the tent, holding up his hands in resistance. "Er.. I like sweets and all, but I'm all snacked out." One drugged cookie was enough for the day. It didn't even matter if the dried fruit was safe.
Jude's new nickname for Otto was met with a glare. He didn't mind being a dream-crusher, but he didn't much care to remember the koala hug. Damnit all.

"That's an interesting nickname you got for the boy, Judy," She hummed with a grin, her good mood not at all affected by the doom and gloom around her, "Care to share the story? At least your nickname for Mr Bond over here makes sense."
Otto just received a look from her. A look that borders on 'I know what you did last summer', even if she had no idea.
